The Zoo Fence - Mobile Version

Welcome. This is a much abbreviated version of the full website. If you find that you enjoy the material here, we suggest that you consider visiting the “parent” website on a tablet, desktop or laptop computer.

There you will find a far wider assortment of stuff, including many additional articles, letters, cartoons, artwork, forum posts, and more. As one example, the The Gazebo on the full site is home to many more articles, several years back, than are now included here. The URL of the full website is https://www.zoofence.com.

Note about Francis: This comment is for those of you who have known me on TZF as Stefan and may be wondering as you see the name Francis appearing here. Some while ago, I had a dream instructing me, in effect, to replace Stefan with Francis. Of course, my first thought was about Francis and Clare of Assisi. He is the only Francis I have ever known, and I have admired the two of them (and loved the town of Assisi) since, well, forever. But eventually I came to thinking that it is about something different. We’ll see. In any case, until a couple of months ago, I ignored the dream. I mean, I thought about it, but did nothing. Finally, recently, I figured it was time to take the dream seriously, so I began to change every appearance on The Zoo Fence of Stefan to Francis. I am starting on the Desktop version of the site, because there is more of it there than here. What does it mean? Dunno. Why did I do this now and not before? Dunno. But at least now you know as much about it as I do.
